Britney Spears said goodbye to one of her contestant's on "The X Factor" on Thursday (as Diamond White was eliminated from the competition), and Brit says that though she's happy to still have contestant Carly Rose Sonenclar in the game, the evening was bittersweet.

"It's a little disappointing," Britney told Access Hollywood of 13-year-old Diamond getting the boot following the show on Thursday. "I gave her a big hug."
